Distributing Code

At some point, you may want to share your project with other developers. Whether it’s a library or a full game, you can use Azul to distribute it.

This can be achieved using the azul pack command, which will serialize your project into a sourcemap.

Collaborators can then either use azul push to import the code into their own place, or use azul build to update their local copy of the project.

Best practices

• Don’t source control your ./sourcemap.json file. Since it’s a living artifact, its guids will change constantly for every new sync session.
• When using azul pack, do not just override ./sourcemap.json file in your repo. Instead, use the -o argument and give it a descriptive name (i.e. my-game.json)
• If importing a full game, make sure you use azul build with the --destructive flag to remove any orphaned Instances that may have been deleted in the source project.
